The Corrie live episode was dramatic enough - but it even included a real-life marriage proposal.

A message on the blackboard at The Rovers read ‘Katie Lowe will you marry me?’.

Corrie producers had asked viewers for what they wanted to see on the blackboard at the pub - and this was the winner, as reported by The Manchester Evening News.

The amazing proposal was made by Adam, Twitter user @literallyadam.

And the idea must have worked, because he later tweeted: “I’m officially engaged, thanks @itvcorrie what a night!!’.

Congratulations flooded in for the couple, with friends dubbing it ‘amazing and cute’ and the ‘best proposal ever’.

The ingenious message was seen on camera halfway through the live episode as the camera panned away to cut to an ad break.

Elsewhere in the show, Corrie suffered an unfortunate mistake in its live episode - but it was so tiny most people missed it.

The ITV soap's special live broadcast went off almost without a hitch, though was let down by a technical issue when the sound cut out during a scene with Tim and Craig discussing their relationship troubles.
